What

How

In a matter of minutes it actually cold welds yor PVC pipe and fittings creating a bond that is actually stronger than the pipe and fitting itself!

Do

No, you don’t need a primer unless your local plumbing code requires you to use one. A primer can be used with Gorilla PVC without weakening the joint. But physically, the bond that you get with Gorilla PVC is extremely strong without the use of a separate primer. Why? The virtually odorless solvent used in Gorilla PVC is much more aggressive than that in a conventional PVC cement, acting every bit like a conventional primer as far as bonding power.

Will

Absolutely not! We have run freeze-thaw testing on the cement repeatedly (taken 20 times down to 5 degrees Farenheit above zero, allowed to thaw out, then repeated) and can detect no change in the viscosity or holding power of the cement.

What’s

The liquid residue is the leftover mild solvent that remains when the pvc in the cement dries and cold welds the pieces together. The residual solvent will eventually evaporate, or can be washed away with water or wiped off. Excess adhesive can be neutralized by flushing the pipe with water right after gluing in order to exclude problems resulting from too much cement inside the pipe joint.
